I really liked this Oktoberfest...
Not only was it visually appealing, it had deliciously bready notes with a sweet backdrop. Mouthfeel was very astringent to the point of detracting, but it didn't detract the surprisingly spicy touch of flavor. Overall, a very solid offering for this or any Oktoberfest time of celebration...

The pour is bronze colored with a moderate amount of carbonation. The taste is crisp, sweet roasted malt, & caramel dipped apples. Cheers! B

Clear golden amber appearance with a thin beige head. Some smoke to the sweet caramel malt nose. Bitter earthy hops with toasted caramel malt, but the yeast is bland and thin, and again the smoke is there but as a hint on the finish. Feel is malty and thin, kind of flat too despite the visible carbonation. Meh
